Wasn't the whole purpose of a gas tax in the first place to help fund automotive related roads and infrastructure? Wouldn’t they have to establish a tax on Cyclists and then use that money or general fund money for non gas related highway expenses? It is called the federal “fuel” tax isn’t it? Plus isn’t the AAA the American “Automobile” Association? It might be different if all of the cyclists were paying AAA dues.
I agree we need more rails to trails but I am not sure AAA is the go to company for that. Maybe if they protested Ford, Toyota or BMW?
